Assistant manager Ross Forsyth was part of the last Stirling Albion side to win seven games in a row and is hoping to help them do the same again tomorrow.

Dave Mackay’s men have moved to within five points of the play-offs after six straight victories and welcome leaders Forfar Athletic to Forthbank this weekend.

The Loons have seen their advantage over Arbroath at the top of Ladbrokes League 2 cut to just one point and went down 3-2 at home to Berwick Rangers in their last outing.

The Binos beat Clyde by the same score at Broadwood and are now aiming to equal the seven-match winning streak set by Allan Moore’s men in the spring of 2006/07, when they went on to win promotion to Division One via the play-offs after finishing runners-up to Morton.

The 34-year- old could feature this weekend as Ross McGeachie is suspended and there are injury doubts over both Ross Smith and Ross McMillan and puts the recent fine run down to hard work.

He said: “I think we have the right characters in the dressing room — they are all working for each other and working exceptionally hard. They aren’t the most vocal of groups because they are quite young but they are starting to grow in confidence and have a bit more belief.

“We were delighted with the win against Clyde last week, although in the first half we didn’t play particularly well — we were off the pace and they were the better team but we reacted exceptionally well in the second half. We are coming away from home expecting to win.

“We reminded the boys of the Scottish Cup game and how desperate they were to beat us and we wanted to show we were equally desperate to beat them this time — and that’s how it turned out.

“It’s fantastic that we are on the best run of any team in the SPFL at the moment and it should give the players continued confidence. When we do the simple things and play to our strengths we are an effective team so we just need to keep believing in ourselves.

“Nothing’s impossible in respect of the play-offs but we just need to focus on the next game.

“We want to protect our unbeaten run and try and claw our way back to where we want to get to.

“I can’t really complain at not playing recently because the lads have done fantastically well with six wins on the bounce.

“ I hadn’t been feeling well in the week leading up to the Clyde game so there was no call to make — it was always going to be Frazer Wright replacing Ross Smith and he did very well.”

The referee for tomorrow’s game is Mat Northcroft. Kick-off is the usual 3.00pm and admission prices are £13 for adults, £9 for seniors & students, £5 for U16s and free for U12s.
